Fun at the Franklin Bridal Ball

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago Adornments participated in the yearly Franklin Bridal Ball, held right here in the Factory at Franklin!

It was a pretty busy day- but we had a great time meeting with local brides and their families!

: Our booth at the Franklin Bridal Ball

Nashville area brides were out in force to check out the local wedding vendors and get ideas, and Adornments excels at unique ideas for those special finishing touches (if I do say so myself!). We had a great variety of hand made jewelry and invitations on display. As always brides are encouraged to discuss their ideas with us and work with our designers to create something unique just for them!

Sample papers on display for inspiration in designing your own invitation!

Toward the end of the evening the Bridal Ball put on a fashion show featuring our favorite local designer, Olia Zavozina and you know we had to get our jewelry on the catwalk too!! Handily enough, our booth was right next to Olia’s too.

: Alexis, Laura, Olia, and Lucinda

Laura and Lucinda are both sporting custom fashion designs by Olia and doubled as models for the fashion show!! Need I mention the amazing jewelry we’re wearing? Check it out!!

Here are some shots from the fashion show.. why do models always look so cranky??

A model wearing our diamond pearl chainmail set.

Keep an eye out for the above necklace in upcoming posts… it’s about to play a very special role!!

And because we can never take anything very seriously… our very own models striking poses:

At the end of the evening we raffled off a pair of hand made earrings (who doesn’t love free stuff?!).

Earring Raffle

Don’t forget- Adornments offered some great discounts to Bridal Ball attendees! So come visit us and let us design something special just for you!!

Adornments' Magnificent Sign!

As the pictures show- this party was fantastic! The new, improved, more centralized location for Adornments in the Factory At Franklin is gorgeous! The art was beautiful, the jewelry dazzling, the invitations magnificent and the clothing stunning. Add to that a party atmosphere created by Margaret Tolbert of “Details by Margaret” event planning, delectable foods by “Busy Bees” catering, to-die-for chocolates from Schakolad in Cool Springs, fun games and even better prizes and you get a night that was an unabashed success!

And we're finally open!!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Lest you start to think that we’ve abandoned you all or succumbed to laziness due to our recent lack of postage…let me reassure you that we have not forgotten our loyal blog followers!! We’ve merely been trapped under heavy piles of lumber behind buckets of paint.. But we’re finally free again!!! So we invite you to view our journey from upstairs at the Factory at Franklin to our shiny, new location just off the commons area- DOWNSTAIRS (yes, still at the Factory)!!

So, just in case you for some unknown reason were unable to visit us previously, this is what the shop used to look like..

Our old store upstairs at the Factory at Franklin

And this is what the new space looked like before its magical transformation into Adornments-land.

Of course, this just wouldn’t do! It all had to go!

Women at Work!

Nothing says construction like a girl posing with a ladder in front of a shop covered in brown paper.

The first thing to go- the black wall!

The painting crew!

Thankfully our families were willing to chip in to help us out!! Thanks everyone!!!

So, finally, after much painting, constructing, organizing, etc… Voila!

Our new gallery!

We are now open for business! Please stop by and visit us at the Factory!

Adornments is moving… downstairs!

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

That’s right- Adornments gallery is moving downstairs in the Factory at Franklin in August- so we should be that much more easy to find! We will be just off the common area next to Constant Craving (yes, we will now smell tasty food all day long… ahhh so good…)!

We're moving!

Look out for updates as we track the process of designing and decorating our new space!

Cati and Tom finally get hitched!

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Congratulations Tom and Cati!!!

Cati & Tom

Unfortunately their special day was graced with constant rain (though I hear this is lucky!). Thankfully this couple is one of those rare, easy going couples that took it all in stride! The reception was held at Cati’s parents’ house in Cabot, Arkansas and when the rain started the couple’s families just pitched in together to move all the tables and tents together to shelter the bridal party and guests as much as possible. Of course, everyone ended up wet anyways- but no one seemed to mind. There were more important things going on: food, music, dancing, and cake!

The Moore Harshey Band

The band set up in the garage and got the party started off to a great start!

Cati's Hair Pins

Of course we had to get a shot of Cati wearing a pair of Laura’s hair pins! They added just a touch of flair to her very classic, elegant do.

Lucinda and Alexis

A good time was had by all! And of course, we never miss an opportunity to show up to parties wearing favorite examples of our own work.. Check out our new jewelry!! Laura’s new necklace below has us especially excited about some new possibilities!

Laura and Jim

Next up, Laura and Jim’s wedding on October 4th!! She’s got some great updates on the way!

Bubble Send Off

Because no wedding is complete without the sendoff!

Congratulations and many happy years to come!

NCS Renaissance Fair!

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

A while back we were invited to participate in a Ren. Fair at the Nashville Christian School, held in conjunction with their school play, “Much Ado About Nothing.” This is the first year that the school put together such a to-do, and it sounds like it’s likely to become a yearly event. We were eager to join- mostly because we heard there would be turkey legs!!

And there were..

Mmm... Turkey leg! Who wouldn't go to a Ren Fair for that!!

Take a look at our amazing sign! That’s right, we’re wearing costumes! Well…pseudo-costumes (they had wrist watches back then, right?)…

Adornments Sign! yes, we used blue tape to hang it..

We were asked to have a semi-working booth so that it would be somewhat educational as well. So Lucinda brought her loom and demonstrated weaving (of course…Laura and I were the mules for this venture…)

Lucinda weaving!

While Laura was hard at work on some new jewelry!

Look at all that bling!

Of course, the biggest problem of the day was the weather… It was rather windy which caused all of our pretties to keep being blown over. So I spent my time (when not eating funnel cakes and roasted corn!) putting every thing back upright.

It's perfect!

At least, until the rain called an end to the day. In all though, many funnel cakes were had and oohs and aahs abounded! Thanks to NCS for having us!!
